China on Afghanistan: ‘The Real Winner of This Disaster Is China’

China is “the real winner” of the foreign policy “disaster” currently unfolding in Afghanistan after the Taliban terror group seized full control of the country earlier this week, China’s state-run Global Times argued on Thursday.

“The real winner of this disaster is China,” Michele Geraci, the current Undersecretary of State for Italy’s Ministry of Economic Development, posited in an editorial published by the Global Times on August 19. Geraci, considered an expert in Chinese economics and also as a columnist for the Beijing-based financial news site Caixin, said the West had perpetrated a “betrayal” against Afghan citizens by allowing Afghanistan to fall to the Taliban after supporting the country in practically all aspects for nearly 20 years.

America launched an invasion of Afghanistan in autumn 2001, ousting the Taliban from the country’s government and replacing it with a U.S.-backed administration. The Afghan War, which began in response to jihadist terror attacks on U.S. soil in September 2001, was drawing to a close on August 15 when the Taliban captured Kabul, the Afghan national capital, and ousted the city’s U.S.-backed government. Most observers expected the Taliban to eventually invade Kabul after the U.S. and NATO-allied forces completely withdrew their troops from the country by August 31. The terror group instead successfully sacked Kabul in less than ten days before the Western troop drawdown was complete.

China needs massive amounts of Lithium. Afghanistan has massive amounts of Lithium. China has been in talks with the Taliban to further develop infrastructure (roads). China shares a border with afghanistan. Biden has ties to China. Biden hands Afghanistan over to the Taliban. Is it really that difficult to figure out what happened?
